RVing Straight Into a Wildfire

[@thowell3031]

I’m a 66 year-old grandmother and I travel solo, so I do it all - the planning, the driving, the navigating, the backing, the repairs (as many of them as I can manage). I’m planning on doing this as long as possible, but it would be nice to have someone to share the load with, and the memories. 😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

More power to you!

[@francinemccabe8648]

Enjoy watching your Washington video, my adult son and daughter in law live in Washington state! You’ve just added another place to my list of places to go when I visit them❤

[@paulab984]

Way to go!

@@LessJunkMoreJourney As a blue-eyed person. you should regard direct sunshine as the equivalent of a rainfall of poisoned daggers. You are at statistically higher risk of developing melanoma (as well as ocular cancer) and every sunburn you suffer boosts that risk significantly. Please take more precautions. increase your SPF and apply it liberally. My father often forgot to do so before working in his garden and ended up having bits and pieces of his ears and face sliced off -- and he didn't have the higher risk factors that you do. Not fun.

[@elizabethlarose3632]

I plan, make reservations, drive and pack…my husband does pack some stuff…but if I want to get on the trip in a timely manner this is what I need to do…

[@trinx01]

Aww! North Cascades NP is in my county, and where I'm going for my shakedown trip when I finish building out my van. It's the first NP my dad took me to as a kid, and who instilled in me my adventurous spirit. RIP (and thank you!) Dad 💜

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s awesome! It’s a beautiful place to call home!

Marissa, out west, the Watch Duty app cannot be beat for monitoring fires. We’ve had to change some of our Wa/Or Pac NW trip this summer as well…and we now carry a hepa air filter with a special smoke filter for inside the rig. Safe travels!

[@Oldoregonnurse]

Thx for the tip!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ejs6010]

You made a great choice going to the North Cascades National Park. I lived in Newhalem for about 2 years (1958 or so) as my father built the powerhouse at Newhalem, and worked on Diablo and Ross Dams. When we lived there the road east of Newhalem was tiny and I think only boat traffic could access Ross lake. Your video brought back may memories!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tips!

[@loragunning5394]

The "g" in Skagit is pronounced like a "j". Loved this video! I lived in the Skagit Valley for almost 18 years, North Cascades National Park was pretty much in my back yard. It wasn't unusual to drive over to Winthrop for lunch, but North Cascades Highway isn't something you want to drive at night. Coming back from a friend's wedding many years ago, I stopped to use the restroom at Washington Pass Overlook and inadvertently locked my keys in my truck. It was late afternoon and I ended up stuck there until around midnight. This was before the cell phone era and there was a pay phone available, so I called a locksmith down in Winthrop, but they never showed up. A huge thunderstorm rolled through sometime around midnight and there were multiple lightening strikes around the immediate area. My friend and I were the only ones there and there had been no other cars on the highway for several hours, so we finally found a good sized rock, wrapped it in my sweatshirt, and busted the rear window to gain access to the cab of the truck. What an adventure! I got a new sliding rear window for the truck the following afternoon.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I am the planner for my husband and I and for everyone else in our family that likes to rv with us in their own camper. But my husband books our stays after I plan everything out. This is also the point where he starts getting excited about the place we're going. Now we are both excited and it helps me not to feel so alone in the planning part of RVing. :) Great video. Thanks for sharing your journey and all the tips.

[@thomneil4764]

I love the attitude, “Until next time”! You may not have even realised you said it as you were leaving Silverwood. It’s and attitude I like to keep when RVing because then you enjoy what you get to do this time knowing it doesn’t have to be a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience.

Lol, I am the planner, he is the chauffeur. He has been asking me about next weekend and when I ask what he wants to do I get "I don't care." Then I ask if we should just stay home and he is like, "I didn't say that!" Hope you have a great rest of your trip! Ya, always have a plan B, C, D and E!

I do it all, plan, drive, hitch, maintain. My 91yo mother cooks and feeds the cats and dog. Working together on our bucket lists. When planning, esp in SE US during hurricane season, I always have a plan A, B and C for my routes. Sometimes I wish there was some muscles around when I have a hard time completing a physical task. Journey on! Have fun!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow that’s amazing!

[@AnnetteLG]

Ha! Silverwood! I was in high school when it opened in 1988. The park’s biggest attraction was its steam locomotive-they would stage a “hold up” and one time I was a “victim.” They also had a zoo. The next biggest attraction was the corkscrew roller coaster. I remember one time my friend and I rode it 11 times in a row because there was nobody waiting to get on. Speaking of wildfires, one time we were traveling along the Washington and Oregon border near Umatilla and there was a roadside fire. We were in the Subaru and mom had to go through it with both of us kids and I think grandma. The smoke was soooo thick and we couldn’t see anything in front or on the side. We could feel the heat from the fire. Years later mom admitted she thought that was a mistake to go through it-ah well we were tougher back then! It was the 79s or 80s!! Diablo Lake and the Cascade Highway is absolutely stunning. I love it there. I camped for a week outside of Winthrop, near Penrose State Park. That was a few years ago. On the way there from the Seattle side, there was a motorcyclist with his daughter out for a nice ride and they crashed right in front of me. Saw the whole thing! I stopped immediately and was the only one around for a little while. I ran to the little girl first-I saw them both flip in the air and the motorcycle tumbling end over end. They were both okay. I was the one that made the call to their family-why I don’t know but I wanted to let them know they were okay and I was quite calm considering and I was able to pray with the grandma on the phone. Huh…. Life had been interesting now that I think about it ❤😊

[@TheFiremanJoe]

I remember the train ride at Silverwood! I live 30 minutes from there.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s a fun park!

[@rebeccaewing473]

So glad y’all got you chose the N. Cascades Highway that is such an awesome drive. I’m from Seattle so I’ve grew up going to all the national parks and just loving all the drives in between. It is really fun and refreshing to see my home state through your eyes and where you go on what you do thank you so much❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Another beautiful video. You all are just amazing. When your plans have to be changed unexpectedly and it turns into to another adventure you otherwise wouldn’t have done or seen, we call that “road magic.” This has happened to us many times in the 18 years we have been full-timing.❤️

I'm loving this series! What a great promotion for Grand Design. Hey, heads up from someone who does Sound Design and Mixes for a living. Slap a high pass filter @ 120 on all that driving footage. You can't hear the rumble on laptop speakers or a phone, but believe me, with real speakers it's a rumble fest.

Hi guys! Glad you made it safe. Yall the best

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We did! It's all just part of the journey, right?

[@rayworx]

I was the planner AND the driver! We took my GoldWing to most all the western USA states from 2002-2010. We towed a trailer that we kept all our camping equipment in. Being we enjoyed camping in 'luxury' we had a 6 man tent with our sleeping bags and air mattresses. Our cooking was with a gas stove and we had a table just incase there wasn't one at the camp sight. Sadly we've had to sell the bike and trailer and enjoy the memories! My wife and I now enjoy hoteling. I don't have as much fun but since we're older..... we deal with it as it is!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow! What an adventure 👏

[@sandraaudas9495]

I definitely do all the planning and then sometimes my husband comes in at the end and derails it but that's ok. It's all part of the fun of travelling! He loves seeing the out of the way things and I like the slightly touristy things so it's a good balance. Ya'll stay safe!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Sounds like a good balance

[@garyhanson4133]

Silverwood is fun, but your going to get wet. Lol going through forest fires is definitely interesting. One time I was driving fuel truck for our helicopter tours, I had to go by a forest fire. I had fire on both sides of the highway, and me carrying 500 gallons of aviation fuel. Talk about pucker factor :-)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It was HOT 🥵 so we invited getting wet!

[@marymolin6687]

We were in the Cascades two years ago in June and it was magnificent! We have been all over the U.S. in our rv and Northern Cascades is one of our top parks we have visited. The entire Pacific Northwest is awesome!! If you can get to Olympic and Mt. Rainier it will be well worth your time as well.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It has been a fun adventure so far!

[@HollywoodHappenings1]

SO much Beauty to see. The view from the water spectacular. 🎉❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s incredible 🤩

[@nsas54]

Silverwood started out as Henley Aerodrome back in the day & has evolved to the amusement park you see today. My neck of the woods, so glad you could stop & enjoy!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the bit of history!

[@Fromthemountainmeadow]

Thank you for your prayers for our beautiful Parks. We are from BC and it has been a tough few years with wildfires. I am the trip planner and my husband is the driver. We are heading to Oklahoma in October. Maybe we'll cross paths sometime.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You are so welcome 🙏

[@NMorse]

Heck, yeah, welcome to my state. I hope you had fun here. By Manzama, NCP is where is where my hidden camping spot is. You will need to come back in January for the Eagle festival that they have every year to celebrate the nesting of all the eagles in town of Concrete/Marblemount. And Winthrop is such a fun town

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tips, how cold is it in January?

[@NMorse]

@LessJunkMoreJourney not too cold. It's usually around the mid 30s to low 40s that time of year. Hwy 20 does shut down for the season but it makes for a great snowshoe location. And be glad you made it over when you did. That fire caused a big mudslide that shut down the hwy for about a week.

[@cachecampcruise]

OMG! You came through my little town right before Winthrop. At least you got to experience good ice cream at Sheri's Sweet Shop. Our journey was supposed to take us to the GDRV National Rally in Goshen so we could see the new Lineage but the wildland fires was one of the reasons we had to stay home. Love seeing places that are essentially my backyard. So glad you got to stop at Washington Pass and experience the beauty there. You are lucky because the pass was closed for several weeks after you went through due to the Easy Pass fire and then a big mudslide. The pass just reopened a few days ago. Newhalem is a neat little place to visit, too. BTW, I'm the planner in our family!

[@jnbond]

I'm the planner for our family and for sure flexibility is key! Those turquoise glacier waters are just amazing! I'm sure you are aware but be careful of possibility of theft if you leave starlink on the ground even nearby the rv. I've heard stories of how people rving have had them stolen, or cables chewed on by critters. I know this is a temporary rv just for this season so you aren't looking to mount it, but just be aware as I'm sure you are especially if you leave it out overnight.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for looking out. I think that Starlink has some pretty good anti theft protocols build into this hardware in case of theft m.

Diablo Lake is such a gorgeous lake! Also, you mispronounced Skagit. Pronounced like Ska-jit. Wildfires are pretty common there every year.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s lovely ☺️

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

We were camping just west of Jasper townsite (about 144km/2hrs drive) & I looked at the Bcfiremap &saw we were in the evacuation alert area so bugged out & 5 mins west (had to get to Edmonton) we saw flames & smoke on the north side of the highway! It wasn’t in the area of what the map said the fire was. Jasper was evacuated the next day. I remember driving through a fire that was beside the highway when I was a young teen. That was fascinating.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow!

[@gutterspub]

Spiders spin webs between trees by using the wind to carry their lightweight silk threads from one tree to another. Here's how: 1) Bridge thread: The spider starts by climbing to a high point, like a tree branch, and releasing a long, sticky silk thread into the wind. The breeze carries the thread until it catches on another branch. 2) Second thread: The spider crosses the bridge thread with a second thread, which is pulled down by the spider's weight to create the web's center. 3) Spiral: The spider then moves out from the center to create a spiral web. 4) Capture web: Finally, the spider creates a final spiral web from the outside in. Spiders are born knowing how to make webs, and they can produce different types of silk for different purposes. For example, orb spiders can produce seven different types of silk.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you! So informative!

[@MrKnightoflight]

We were supposed to be in Jasper at the end of July, a week after Jasper was evacuated. We were coming off an Alaska cruise into Vancouver, and took a bus tour to the Canadian Rockies. We got diverted to Kelowna, BC instead. We did get to see Ogopogo though! After, we did get to see Lake Louise and Banff, with some smoke from Jasper. Sad to miss Jasper, but sadder for the residents of Jasper. Praying for them too!!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Our 1999 Alaska trip, wildfires had closed the highway near Burwash Landing. Just reopened the morning we were headed through and still flames on both sides of highway. While we were up there the fire came back through and burned up most of the vehicles and structures. We dealt with a lot smoke and fires. Smoke so bad in Dawson City that we could only stay 2 nights.
